This character falls under the "Symbol, Other" category. Visually, it appears as a hollow, perfectly round circle that is larger in size compared to the standard circle symbol. The Large Circle is used in various contexts to symbolize continuity, wholeness, or infinity, due to the circle's nature of having no beginning or end.

This character is particularly useful in mathematical and scientific notation, diagrams, and technical drawings. |
